Here at Turcom, we are dedicated to providing high-end products at an affordable price point. Transparency is the name of the game, which is why we want you to have all the information available when purchasing your next portable Bluetooth Speaker. With that said, we did a side-by-side comparison of our latest Bluetooth Speaker, the AcoustoShock Mini, with a similar product, the RuggedTec StrapSound. Toughness We build all of our products ‘Turcom Tough’ so you never have to worry about them getting damaged. The AcoustoShock Mini is no exception. It is water resistant with an IPX6 rating, dust-proof and shock proof. This little guy can withstand a rainstorm. The RuggedTec StrapSound is also dust and shock proof, but only has an IPX3 water resistant rating. This means it can only endure a light spray of liquid without being compromised. Portability Both the AcoustoShock Mini and RuggedTec StrapSound were built for portability. The AcoustoShock Mini comes with a heavy-duty bike clamp and durable strap so it can be tethered to your sporting equipment or outdoor gear. The RuggedTec StrapSound also comes with what is called a “Strap Anywhere Design,” meaning you can lasso it to your canoe paddle, bicycle, towel rod, walking stick, etc. Battery Life This feature is a little more straightforward. The Turcom AcoustoShock Mini has a 1,500 mAh Rechargeable Lithium-Ion Battery. In other words, you get 10 hours of playtime. The RuggedTec StrapSoundt sports a 600 mAh battery, which yields roughly 6 hours of playtime. Price Like battery life, this feature is a little more straightforward. AcoustoShock Mini: $37.99 vs RuggedTec StrapSound: $34.05 There you have it. Our latest, tough, portable Bluetooth Speaker, side-by-side with a comparable competitor.
